Safety Instructions
How to avoid fatal injury
by electric shock!
J Inspect the wattmeter, additional equipment and the
electrical appliances you wish to test before every use to
ensure that they are intact. Damaged electrical appliances
and buckled/kinked mains leads or bare wires increase
the risk of an electric shock.
J Do not operate the wattmeter if mains leads or mains
plugs on the electrical appliances you wish to test are
damaged.
CAUTION! Damaged mains leads pose a risk of fatal
injury by electric shock.
J The connector plug 22 of the wattmeter must fit into the
outlet. The connector plug 22 must not be modified in any
way. Do not use adapter plugs in conjunction with earthed
electrical appliances. Using unmodified mains plugs and
proper outlets reduces the risk of an electric shock.
J Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as those
of pipes, heaters, ovens and fridges. There is an increased
risk of an electric shock if your body is earthed.
J Keep the wattmeter away from rain and
moisture. If water enters the wattmeter there
is an increased risk of an electric shock.

12 GB
Safety Instructions
J Only operate the wattmeter in dry clothing and preferably
shoes with a rubber sole or standing on an insulating mat.
J Only measure voltages of over 25V~in compliance
with the relevant safety instructions for the electrical
appliance you wish to test.
J Never under any circumstances open up the housing of
the wattmeter. If the wattmeter does not work properly
or is damaged, please have it repaired immediately by
a specialist.
J Do not operate the wattmeter outdoors.
J Always remove the electrical appliances you are testing
from the socket 6directly by the mains plug and never
using the mains lead.
J Remove the wattmeter from the outlet when you have
finished using it.
How to avoid personal injury and
damage to the product!
J RISK OF FATAL INJURY AND ACCIDENTS
FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN! Never
leave children unattended with the packaging
materials or the product. The packaging material carries
a risk of suffocation and there is a risk of fatal injury by

Safety Instructions
electric shock. Children often underestimate dangers.
Always keep children away from the product.
J CAUTION! DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
Never operate the wattmeter where there is
any risk of explosion, i.e. close to inflammable
liquids or gases.
J Never exceed the stated maximum input voltage.
J Avoid strong vibrations or shocks.
J Never expose the wattmeter to extreme temperatures,
extreme sunlight, humidity or moisture.
J Never expose the wattmeter to extreme temperature
fluctuations. Do not use the wattmeter until it has become
adjusted to the ambient temperature.
J Never operate the wattmeter close to strong magnetic
fields such as motors, transformers or similar.
J Do not place the wattmeter face down on workbenches
or working surfaces. This helps to prevent damage to the
operating elements and the LCD 1.
J Remove the batteries from the wattmeter if you do not
intend to use if for any length of time.
J Do not connect after each other.
J Use the power cost meter only in buildings equipped under
Installation Category II (CAT II) according to IEC 664.
The maximum peak voltage must not exceed 2500 V~.

Safety Instructions
The main electricity supply for residential buildings usually
falls under Installation Category II.
Safety Instructions for Batteries!
J Remove batteries that have not been used for any length
of time from the instrument.
J CAUTION! DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
Never recharge batteries.
J Make sure when inserting the batteries that the polarity
is correct. This is indicated in the battery compartment.
J If necessary, clean the battery and instrument contacts
before inserting the batteries.
J Remove spent batteries from the instrument immediately
on account of the increased risk of leakage.
J Batteries must not be disposed of in household waste.
J Consumers are under a legal obligation to dispose of
batteries properly.
J Keep batteries out of the reach of children, do not dispose
of them in fire, do not short-circuit them, and do not take
them apart.
J Failure to observe these instructions may result in the
batteries discharging beyond their end voltage, which

have leaked, remove them immediately to prevent damage
to the instrument.
J Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membrane. In
the event of contact with battery acid, rinse the affected
area with plenty of water and/or consult a doctor.
J Unplug the appliance before changing the batteries.
